3 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2015

While I was driving on level ground with the foot lightly on the accelerator, a warning bell and various warning lights went off (including abs and check vsc system). When I put on the brakes I had to push much harder than usual in order to slow the vehicle. These conditions continued for three miles, at which point the warning signals discontinued and the braking returned to normal. Both an independent repair shop and the local Toyota dealer did not find error codes or identify a cause for what I experienced. The dealer installed a new brake fluid reservoir as part of a limited service campaign. It would not, however, install a new brake actuator assembly or brake stroke sensor as part of the ze1 warranty enhancement since it did not find error codes. Toyota's national customer experience center would also not authorize the replacement of these parts due to a lack of error codes. Six months and 5000 miles later the problem has not happened again.

5 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2013

All sensor lights came on with "check vsc system" message. Brakes felt mushy and it was harder to stop. Took into dealership next day but lights had turned off. Dealership scanned for computer codes but found nothing. Everything fine. 6 weeks later on 300 mile trip, same thing occurred. I had no choice but to continue on trip and return home a week later. Took into dearlership. Now they state that there is an internal leak in the abs actuator and want $3,189. 00 to fix. Read where this part has been redesigned due to an engineering flaw in original part and where many other owners of this model have experienced same problem. The repair cost is outrageous. This makes my car dangerous to drive, but I cannot afford the fix.

6 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2013

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that the front brakes were emitting a loud noise intermittently and the abs sensor illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician was unable to neither replicate nor diagnose the failure. In a different occasion, the contact stated that while traveling at an unknown speed, the brake pedal was applied and the brakes failed to engage. The contact mentioned that all of the sensors illuminated on the instrument panel and after several attempts the vehicle finally came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed from the contacts residence to another authorized dealer who replaced the front brakes. The failure recurred and the authorized dealer later indicated that the abs modulator assembly and the skid control ecu needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure several times to no avail. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
